Protect the brain that planned the ride. 🧠 Because it’s not just along for the ride, it’s running the whole show. Keep it safe with a helmet and stay aware of your surroundings.

Protege el cerebro que planeó el paseo. 🧠 Porque no solo va de pasajero, dirige todo el espectáculo. Manténlo seguro con un casco y permanece atento a tu entorno

Driver safety tip: Do not block or park in crosswalks. They’re pedestrian safety zones.
